Another Milestone
The next person to join the Society will become our 2000 member!! I admit this figure is a bit misleading as almost 1700 of these no longer subscribe!
This is fairly similar to a bit in an article by Nicolette Jones in the Daily Telegraph a couple of weeks ago. She wrote:-
'The Enid Blyton Society (founded 1995) is flourishing, with more than 3200 members posting on its forums.'
The number is actually 3268, but it would have been more accurate if she had added that about 3200 of these no longer post!!

Re: Another Milestone
Congratulations Tony, if I can persuade someone to become the 2,000 member do I get a prize?

Maybe it will be Stephen Isibirye. Congratulations to the society, did you ever believe it would grow to this extent when you started it Tony?
